What size tires are you running? I know you said 33's, but what's the rest of it? ( 33/75/16 ... ect ) I'm getting ready to get some tires as well but i don't want to lift the front end.

this topic will go on for ever with people saying they have 35s and 33s with and with out lifts. bl bla bla

the truth is. if you rub now than a leveling kit is your cheapest bet. if you're going to jump up in tire size some day than go with a 4 or 5 inch kit.

also. stock rims will usually not have enough backspacing with any amount of lift the width of the wider tires can still rub on the control arms and such, so check and see where you are rubbing.
